HK tour - here come the photos! :)

[Syren.S]

sorry for opening a new topic...just because i'm going to make a quite looooong post. be patience, guys!

my hands shaked too much so some of them are really bad. but, hmmm, believe me, you will see lots of funny ones because of my shaking hands...

btw, Jens, I LOVE YOUR SHIRT!!! where did you get it?
(for people who don't understand chinese, those words on the t-shirt are: DAMAGED INSTRUMENTS)
---------------------------
as i said, we arrived at 6:15. some ppl were already there.

ppl before us:

after 15 mins, ppl after us:

merchandise:

poster:

and then...

and then...

finally, the stage. i tried to take the photo when it was really dark, and you see the results...what if i tell you the lights WERE like that?

ya know, all kind of ppl went to the show, even the office guy in suit...

Jens appeared at the gate and everyone was rushing ahead. so the photo i took became this...(what's the floating things in the air? don't ask me...)

everyone is ready, here we go!

Hunting high and low!

welcome to HK~


Jens in action!

so is Koti~

and the big guy...

i really tried to figure out what kind of movement is this...

this one looks better...

GO!GO!!GO!!!

ladies&gentlemen, attention! here comes the GOD in HOLY LIGHT...
(dunno how did i take a photo like that >_<)

i have seen the light...

all these were taken during 'kiss of judas'



t.b.c.

[Syren.S]

i guess those are during 'speed of light'


"seems they really like us huh?"

what did Lauri see?

destiny:



you did a great job!

"let me introduce you Miss intermission angel. for some reason she appears in Destiny..."

"...and i don't know why"

he looks sad?

Lauri was really excited the whole night. (and he is so cute )

i really got a problem when taking photos of Jorg. he was too far from me...

Lauri knows chinese KongFu!

the bass solo:

[Syren.S]

coming home:



twilight symphony:

the solo part in TS



everybody is so amazing...




UNITED:

[Syren.S]

"last song, a really really really slow one..."




encore started.
FOREVER




after the so-called 'microphone test'(i don't know whether we beat the small town Taipei and the small small small villiage Tokyo or not...), FOREVER continues



here comes the story of the 'lucky cat'! we yelled 'black diamond' and Jens waved his hand in a strange way...just like the lucky cat. everybody was laughing, and he even took one from the back stage and put it there. after a keyboard solo he found the tune for black diamond, but still, he used one hand to play and the other one to do the 'lucky cat wave'...that's the funniest moment...
so this is Jens and the cat...(sorry the cat is not clear enough)

everyone in the venue was crazy...


Jens was shaking hand with that cat...

i tried so hard to took a picture of that cat...but...

Errr...




Hello, kitty~

Koti gave mic to Jorg




finished! others started drinking, and Koti was asking us to shout "1,2,3,4" in our language.(it's a pity he didn't ask us to do it in finnish...)
so we did it in cantonese.
"ya, yi, sum, sei!"



thanks HongKong!




this is Lauri-the-ghost...dunno what happened to my camera...


everybody left, except the cat...


okay i have to go to bed now. will be back tomorrow for the review part. actually i don't have anything special to say, they were so fucking great and kicked every single ass. that's it.

BERTA

[Patricia]

[Stratofanius]

Wow those pics... how did you take so good pics? Colours are also awesome... Must be a nice show!

[Beast_Pete]

Great pictures, thanks for sharing!
I really liked this picture and the comment you wrote.

[Stratoviking]

thank you!!!!

[Paola]

Excellent photos, congratulations, really I like this photos...

[IceBreaker]

Just wonder how unsharp photos can be so excellent...

But no prob, the mood on those pics seem to be very great! So, they had certainly a great show there. :music:

[Syren.S]

a little additions

the tickets:


the coupon for getting free cd:

and the CD i got:


i bought another CD outside (visions of europe) so i got a free card and badge too.


i also bought a poster. just the same as the one outside the venue.

i'm glad you like the pictures. still i missed a lot of great ones. Jens made so many funny faces (as always) and he was absent for a min or two, when Koti said "...a song from one of our old album. it talks about the darkness turns to light..." and everyone shouted "twilight symphony!!!" but then we couldn't find Jens! we all laughted and Koti said "but first we should get the monster back..." so Jens walked back and said something like "f**k you" (counldn't hear properly)


but i have a question...anyone took some photos of the video they played before the show? it's about 10 mins long and is soooooooooo hilarious. it starts from the VOA 2005 and shows the whole 2005 tour, including some priceless moments like Lauri rushed into a ladies room, Jorg distoryed a handrail in swimming pool, one put his head near a cannon while another lightened a match behind that big gun(might be Jens and Koti, or Lauri? i can't remember 'cos i was laughing so hard all the time...), etc. etc. the video took from country to country and ended in "Funland". Is that a part of the new DVD they are making? Did they played the similar stuff before the show in Japan and Taiwan? i really like it! (and it seems unfinished, as the last several contries has only one or two pics instead of video) if that will be included in the new DVD i will buy it as soon as it comes out
(if that's not a part of the DVD, please, tell us where can we get it...i want it soooooooo badly...)

[MetalAngel]

Nice pics!

Anyway, I saw that you're great fans of mobile phones in HK!

[NightShade]

ahahaha! i laughed aloud when i saw the photo with red floating lights again, that one is just so funny.

and i decided that i'll make "the key to the universe" my mobile phone's wallpaper~ my phone would say a thankyou to your photography skills, which as they all said, is truly great

took me back to the whole show again...a really fantastic night, all high and no low...

p.s. oh lauri is soooo H..O...T....

[Syren.S]

terrific!
i love all these videos, especially the first one. almost brings me back to the show!
i planned to take videos as well, and i changed a large memory stick & prepared two piece of batteries. then, ya know, when the gig started everyone rushed to the stage in the speed of light...and i left everything behind on my seat...
(maybe that's why everyone is using cell phone to take pictures? we all left DC behind? )

and, thx for sharing. you did a great job. ^_^

[Just a Vampire]
